How to use it
What this workbook does
Look at four recruiting measures in one workbook. Cost Per Hire calculates what you spend to fill a position. Time to Fill shows what open positions cost while they remain vacant. Recruiter Capacity helps you determine whether your team can handle the open requisitions. Agency vs In-House compares agency fees with the cost of an in-house recruiter at your hiring volume. The Summary brings all four results together.
Your first 15 minutesOpen the Recruiting Analytics Pack workbook in Microsoft Excel or a free equivalent such as LibreOffice. The Start Here tab explains how to use each worksheet. Begin with Cost Per Hire, replacing the worked example in the amber cells with your own hires and recruiting costs. Your cost per hire appears on the same tab. As you complete the other analyses, the Summary tab brings all four results together.
